block: Print its file name if backing file opening failed

If backing file doesn't exist, the error message is confusing and
misleading:

    $ qemu /tmp/a.qcow2
    qemu: could not open disk image /tmp/a.qcow2: Could not open file: No
    such file or directory

But...

    $ ls /tmp/a.qcow2
    /tmp/a.qcow2

    $ qemu-img info /tmp/a.qcow2
    image: /tmp/a.qcow2
    file format: qcow2
    virtual size: 8.0G (8589934592 bytes)
    disk size: 196K
    cluster_size: 65536
    backing file: /tmp/b.qcow2

Because...

    $ ls /tmp/b.qcow2
    ls: cannot access /tmp/b.qcow2: No such file or directory

This is not intuitive. It's better to have the missing file's name in
the error message. With this patch:

    $ qemu-io -c 'read 0 512' /tmp/a.qcow2
    qemu-io: can't open device /tmp/a.qcow2: Could not open backing
    file: Could not open '/stor/vm/arch.raw': No such file or directory
    no file open, try 'help open'

Which is a little bit better.
